OZARK, Mo. – Dalton Taylor blocked his second field goal of the game with 2:08 remaining to help preserve a 30-28 victory for Evangel University over Central Methodist Saturday evening in Heart of America Conference action.
The Crusaders built an early 24-0 lead that included an 85-yard return from Taylor who also blocked the CMU field goal in the second quarter. The score came just before a Blake Woodard rushing touchdown and passing touchdown helped Evangel build its lead.
Central Methodist would chip away at the Crusader lead pulling within 27-21 before a 22-yard field goal from Derek Roberts made it 30-21 at the half.
CMU would score the only points of the fourth quarter to make it 28-30 and drive inside Crusader territory before Taylor blocked his second kick of the game to seal the win.
